Rancho Mirage had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were dealt a 42-0 defeat at the hands of the Farrington Governors on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Rattlers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 310th in California, while the Governors are ranked ninth in Hawaii).
Rancho Mirage didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Kobee Finnikin.
Farrington pushed their record up to 3-0 with that win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Rancho Mirage will take on Coachella Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Farrington, they have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome St. Louis at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Farrington knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 point or more in their past three games -- so hopefully St. Louis likes a good challenge.
